Easton's Bible Dictionary: M. G. Easton, M.A., D.D.
"To tire" the head is to adorn it (
2 Ki. 9:30). As a noun the word is derived from "tiara," and is the rendering of the Heb.
p'er, a "turban" or an ornament for the head (
Ezek. 24:17; R.V., "headtire;" 24:23). In
Isa. 3:18 the word
saharonim is rendered "round tires like the moon," and in
Judg. 8:21, 26 "ornaments," but in both cases "crescents" in the Revised Version.
